Having counted up all your votes so far, below is this year’s shortlist – announced tonight (13 October) at our launch party held at London’s Atrium Kitchen in Camden Market – and you have until 31 October to decide who should win. Just click on the individual categories to cast your votes, plus if you leave your email you could win two tickets to this year’s new-look ceremony. Taking place at The Roundhouse in London on Wednesday, 2 November, the public attend the Q Awards for the first time.
